XEN OWNER'S HANDBOOK 4/3
Caring for the Apricot XEN
Chapter 4
The When necessary, clean the keycaps with a slightly damp cloth
keyboard and a minimum amount of a non-abrasive cleaning agent.
Take care not to spill any liquid onto the keyboard. Follow
these steps if you spill something on the keyboard and it stops
working:
1. If the liquid is viscous, unplug the keyboard and call
your Apricot supplier or an authorized Apricot
maintainer.
2. If the liquid is thin and clear, try unplugging the keyboard,
turning it upside down to let the liquid drain out, and
drying it for at least 24 hours at room temperature. If
the keyboard still won’t work, call your Apricot supplier
or an authorized Apricot maintainer.
If a solid object drops between the keys, turn the keyboard
upside down and shake it; do not probe between the keys as
this may cause damage.
The mouse Dust and dirt may accumulate in the ball tracking mechanism of
the mouse. To clean the mouse:
1. Unplug the mouse, turn it upside down and locate the plastic
cover that holds the ball in place. Depending on the model,
the plastic cover can be removed either by rotating it counter-
clockwise or by sliding it forward slightly.
2. Remove the cover and set it aside.
3. Cupping one hand over the underside, turn the mouse
back the right way up. The ball will drop into your hand.
4. Blow gently into the mouse to remove any dust that
has collected there.
5. Inside the mouse there are three plastic rollers. Using
a cotton swab moistened with a solvent cleaner, gently
wipe off any oil or dust that has collected on the rollers,
rotating them to reach all surfaces.
6. Use clear water, or water with a mild detergent, to
clean the ball. Then dry it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
7. Put the ball back in its socket and replace the plastic
cover. It should click into place.
